Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman finally an item

Quentin Tarantino has given hope to all funny-looking men on planet earth.

Well ... as long as they become innovative, groundbreaking, multimillionaire, A-list, film directors.

But ... there's HOPE.

Us Weekly reports that Tarantino's greatest dream has come true, as he has apparently convinced Uma Thurman to be his woman. The magazine says the two are officially a couple, a mere 20 years after he directed her in "Pulp Fiction."

They even reportedly shared a villa recently at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival in the South of France.

Well, at least she doesn't need to buy shoes anymore.

"They had a thing and got together again recently," an insider told UsWeekly.com. "He's loved her for years."

Well ... yeah.

Both Thurman and Tarantino were presenters at the film festival's closing ceremony May 24. The 44-year-old blonde walked arm-in-arm on the red carpet with the 51-year-old Oscar-winning director, a day after they reunited with John Travolta at a "Pulp Fiction" screening. Tarantino's 1994 film was not only Travolta's big comeback vehicle, but Thurman's breakout film. She later collaborated with Tarantino as the hero of Kill Bill: Volumes 1 and 2.

"There has always been an attraction," another source said. "She has indulged from time to time, and that's how their relationship has always worked."

Thurman told the Associated Press in 2002, "I think we're really different people actually, but that's what's fun about talking to each other. We have very different perspectives. He's a very extroverted, public person. I'm a very introverted person. We're just very different characters, but somehow or other ..." she trailed, finishing the sentence with a shrug.

The two have always seemed close over the years. As you may know -- or tried to forget -- Thurman famously let Tarantino drink from her heel in 2010, while making fun of his rumored foot fetish.

So why (why? why? WHY?) is this happening now?

Apparently it was all about timing, the magazine said. Thurman was married to Ethan Hawke for six years before divorcing in 2004. The actors share daughter Maya, 16, and son Levon, 12. Then in 2007, Thurman got engaged to hedge-fund magnate Arpad "Arki" Busson, with whom she shares 22-month-old daughter Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson. (They must have needed a crane to get that birth certificate into the records room.)

Thurman and Busson reportedly ended their on-and-off again relationship for good last month.

Tarantino and Thurman looked mighty cozy at Cannes. "They talk often," the second source said. "They go out to lunch in NYC when he's around. He always tries to find a role for her, or have her involved somehow."
